It's all a labored sort of strange, like someone forcing himself to have a bad dream. Jul 14, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

There's an unkillable something at the heart of "Septien," an artistic ambition that's not calculated or cynical, that feels homegrown American but is thoroughly resistant to totalitarian spectacle and the manufactured tides of mass opinion. Jul 7, 2011

The setup and storyline are absurd, but the angst underneath is as earnest as a campfire confession. Jul 7, 2011 | Rating: B | Full Review…

As intriguing as the movie is, there's the sense that its free-associative story line has been dredged up from its maker's unconscious and recounted without filter or shape. Jul 6, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This low-budget paean to indoor plumbing and rampant facial hair doesn't unfold so much as unravel. Jul 5, 2011 | Rating: 1.5/5

A unique slice of Southern Gothic that trades in low-level mischievousness, Septien is the ultimate chameleonic cinematic experience -- it is chiefly what one wishes it to be, based on their mood, and interpretation of its rhythms. Jul 16, 2011 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Tully has forged an original independent work of spirit and intelligence, perhaps the best American feature so far in 2011. Jul 13, 2011 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

The film takes advantage of its striking setting, but unfortunately the characters at its center gradually reveal themselves to be less interesting than they initially appear. Jul 11, 2011

The film lingers on prolonged moments of foreshadowing that offer little apart from the studied weirdness with which many low-budget wannabe oddities traffic. Jul 5, 2011 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

I was flipping through the movie channels looking for a movie to watch.The description said *After 18 years a man returns home looking to seek revenge on the town that wronged him with the help of his 2 deranged brothers-Horror* I thought now that sounds AWESOME!!! After watching Septien I thought WTF!? This was NOT a horror flick.It wasn't scary.It wasn't gory.It was a rip off! It was way different then what I expected.It was weird & a waste of time & I was majorly disappointed
